From Here to Eternity
The boldest book of our time… honestly, fearlessly on the screen!
Directed by Fred Zinnemann
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A sweeping 1940s military drama that interweaves forbidden romance, institutional cruelty, and the looming shadow of Pearl Harbor into a portrait of desire and duty in conflict.
In 1941 Hawaii, a private is cruelly punished for not boxing on his unit's team, while his captain's wife and second in command are falling in love.
